Vintage, unique, Turkmen bridal hair tassel. About 14.75" long. There are red glass cabochons on both the triangular portion and on the upper hook. The hook is used to fasten to the bride's braids/plaits. The metal is a gray/silver/tan color and most likely made of an alloy. There are a series of flower connectors, bell-like dangles, tassel tops, and other traditional dangles that make up the tassel fringe. Makes a sound with movement - the sound is used not only to announce the presence of the wearer but also used to ward off the evil eye. There is patina, surface wear, and other signs of age apparent. This weighs just over 6.5 ounces.
Different monitors and phone apps show colors differently. I do my best to accurately document color using both photos and written descriptions. If you have any questions, please send me a message.
